Embodiment
Fig. 1 illustrates system 10, and it comprises electric transducer 12, and this electric transducer 12 can be the transducer of Power electronic converter (as modular multistage transducer) or any other type.In example shown in Figure 1, transducer 12 converts three-phase input current to three-phase output current.Such as, but the configuration of any other type is possible, DC to AC transducer or AC to DC transducer.
System 10 comprises load 14, and it is by electric transducer 12(such as motor 14 or other electrical network 14) power supply.
In order to switching current, transducer 12 comprises a large amount of semiconductor switch, and it is controlled by controller 16.
Generally, controller 16 calculates the next on off state 18 that must be applied to transducer 12.Next on off state 18 is determined from the actual electricity 20 of system 10 and one or more reference quantity 22 based on minimizing of the target function of encoding to the control objectives of electric system 10.
Actual electricity 20 can comprise to be measured and/or estimates and can come from electric transducer 12, load (machine or electrical network) 14 and/or come from the electric network of powering to electric transducer 12.
Fig. 2 illustrates the method for controlling transducer 12.
In step 30, controller 16 receives one or more actual electricity (such as from the measurement mechanism being attached to controller 16 or load 14) and one or more reference quantity 22.
Actual electricity 20 can comprise the electric current (such as in the output of transducer 12 or transducer 12 inside) of measurement, the flux in the measuring voltage, motor of the output of transducer 12 or converter inside measurement and torque.
Reference quantity 22 can comprise reference current, reference voltage, reference flux etc.
In the step 32, controller 16 determines one or more to-bes of transducer 12 from actual amount 20 and reference quantity 22, and it can comprise following on off state and/or following electricity.
Such as, controller 12 is by generating the following on off state sequence of possibility and obtaining following electricity thus to determine following electricity sequence.In this step, the model of transducer 12 and/or load 14 can be used for calculating following electricity.
As another example, controller 16 can determine the precalculated pulse mode as following on off state, as described in EP 2 469 692 A1.
In step 34, controller 16 makes objective function optimization (such as, minimizing it) for determining to have the to-be of optimum cost value.Generally, target function is function to-be being mapped to value at cost.
Such as, target function is by also making the harmonic distortion in input and/or output current minimize and/or making the minimize variability between following electricity and reference electric quantity by making the switching loss of transducer 12 minimize.
Target function can obtain from Operation system setting and physical law.
In step 36, next on off state obtains from the to-be with optimization object function.
Such as, controller 16 can comprise modulator, and it receives reference voltage based on the to-be optimized, and other controller determines next on off state from this reference voltage.
As other example, when to-be comprises to-be sequence or series, mobile time domain policy can be used and only can select the on off state of next to-be.
Below, the optimization of target function f (z) will be explained in more detail in step 34.In many cases, target function f (z) is the polynomial function of its input variable z, namely can be the virtual condition of system 10 and the value of to-be.
Optimization problem mentioned above can be formulated as the continuous optimization problems with following form:
Wherein optimized variable , target function f (z) and constraint set Z=Z 1× Z 2×× Z n, the cartesian product of itself and simple set is similar.If the projection (vide infra) of the point on collection be computationally lightweight compared with original optimization problem, this collection can be described as simple.Simple set can be considered one group of constraint interlaced with each other.
Such as, due to the form of physical law (such as, Kirchhoff's law), target function normally secondary, it obeys the double optimization problem with following form:
Wherein symmetric positive semidefinite matrix, it is vector.
As will be become important below, the gradient of this secondary target function provided by 2Hz+g.
In the article (mentioning at the beginning) of the people such as Richter, propose to be used for two possibility methods to the problem solving for MPC application above: gradient and Fast Field method.
Fast Field method is here reaffirmed as algorithm.This algorithm needs initial point , as input variable, iteration number i max, Lipschitz constant L and scale factor β 0..., β imax-1.
For i=0, available
Terminate
Algorithm makes variable z optimize about target function f (z).
In the first row in iteration loop, algorithm is from the optimized variable y calculated before during iterative step before icalculate unconstrained optimization variable .This passes through in gradient opposite direction on stepping and carrying out.
In the second row in iteration loop, algorithm is by unconstrained optimization variable project to constrained optimization variable z i+1on.
In the third line in iteration loop, algorithm is by scaling factor β 0..., β imax-1come constrained optimization variable z i+1calibrate with the optimized variable y calculated for next iterative step i+1.By calibrating optimized variable, recoverable gradient opposite direction on step.
Symbol projection on instruction constraint set Z.Such as, some in to-be are confined to some boundary or only can comprise centrifugal pump.In these cases, project by making without binding occurrence be confined to boundary and/or make them be confined to binding occurrence z by they being arranged to next permission centrifugal pump.
In MPC problem, optimized variable z represents the control inputs after using state renewal equation elimination status predication usually.Collection Z ithen the constraint to control inputs in prediction time domain can be represented.When existence retrains, the elimination of status predication can produce constraint set Z i, it is no longer simple.But the nested solution via the optimization problem only with simple set utilizes gradient method to MPC problem solving, this can remain possible.Therefore, the method provided also can be used for the solution with state constraint or the general MPC problem to the soft-constraint of state/input.
In addition, note in MPC is arranged, the function of vectorial g current measurement typically (or estimation) actual amount and reference quantity, and therefore need to upgrade in each cycle of control ring.
The control method that above-described use optimized algorithm carrys out optimization object function can adopt following manner at FPGA(see Fig. 3) or the middle realization of multinuclear controller (see Fig. 5).
Optimized variable z is divided into N number of group, , wherein , .The size n of group ican be equal.But the large I of all groups is unequal, this is possible.
Preferably, all elements of a group is under the jurisdiction of a simple set and other groupings whole collection of optimized variable (in the such as single element or a group) are possible.
Following discussion will focus on has secondary target function quadratic programming problem on.
Use piecemeal, the Matrix-Vector multiplication calculated for gradient step may be prescribed as
Wherein each c ithe n of oriental matrix M=I-2/LH ithe collection of individual column vector.
This piecemeal is useful for the realization in FPGA.
Fig. 3 illustrates the controller 16 with FPGA 38, this FPGA 38 has many computing units of the algorithm that realization illustrates above, i.e. data input cell 40, matrix unit 42, one or more matrix multiplication unit 44, add tree unit 46, buffer cell 48, many projecting cells 50 and many beta unit 52 and data outputting unit 54.
The operation of FPGA 40 will be explained about Fig. 4, and this Fig. 4 illustrates the Gantt chart in the cards (Gantt chart) of the Fast Field method (algorithm) on FPGA.
Horizontal line represents computing unit: data input cell 40, matrix unit 42, Matrix-Vector multiplication unit 44 and add tree unit 46, projecting cell 50, beta unit 52 and data outputting unit 54.Horizontal axis repre-sents time, each indentation indicates a clock cycle.Box indicates the use of corresponding computing unit, and arrow manifests the transfer of data from a computing unit to another.
In section 60, the vector portion of the gradient of calculating target function f (z) .The component of gradient depend on the reality of transducer 12 and/or load 14 and reference quantity and each cycle of controller 16 must the component of compute gradient (wherein performing all iteration being used for optimization object function).
Usually, based on matrix equation and matrix multiplication unit 44 can be used for calculate .In section 60, for corresponding matrix be loaded in matrix multiplication unit 44 by matrix unit 42.In addition, input data cell load 40 reality and reference quantity are loaded in matrix multiplication unit 44.
Same in section 60, the initial value of optimized variable z can be loaded in matrix multiplication unit 44.
In section 62, the first iteration is performed by matrix multiplication unit 44 and calculates c jz jand perform result to be added to register or buffer cell 48(by add tree unit 46 stored therein, alternatively, can be stored in matrix multiplication unit 44).
If only use a matrix multiplication unit 44, in each clock cycle, by one group of z ibe delivered to this unit, make after N number of clock cycle, obtain .Be used in each clock cycle more than a matrix multiplication unit 44 and calculate more than a group.
At the end of section 62, first group of optimized variable z iproject to the upper and result of corresponding constraint by constraint projecting cell 50 to be calibrated by beta unit 52.
Calibrating first group of z itime, matrix multiplication unit 44 can start the iteration performed then again.In these computing intervals, optimized variable group is then parallel to be projected and to calibrate and is then delivered to matrix multiplication unit 44.
If the element of superior vector z is grouped make each group of z iindependently can be projected, make group z istreamlined improved by computing unit the computing unit of FPGA 38 utilization and thus on FPGA, save space and on the processing time, there is no large delay, this is possible.
In section 64a, 64b etc., perform other iteration.Reaching i maxduring the limit of iteration, in section 66, data outputting unit 54 reads result.Note when mobile time domain, data outputting unit only can need the first element reading optimized variable z, and it comprises the next to-be of transducer 12.
As alternative, Matrix-Vector multiplication can not be implemented as row-vector multiplication as row-scalar multilication:
Wherein r ithe n of M ithe collection of individual row.Because lower than in row scale method of intercore communication amount, OK-vector formization can ask multi-core platform especially.
Fig. 5 illustrates controller 16, and it comprises multiple single core processor 70, and they can be considered that the computing unit 40 to 54 of computing unit 70(and the FPGA 38 of the other types of controller 16 is compared).
Fig. 6 illustrates the figure of functional module and the buffer performed on the controller of Fig. 5.Data flow between arrow indicator collet.
In a first step, the initial value for optimized variable is stored in input buffer 72.As indicated in figure 6, optimized variable y ibe divided into three groups.But the group of any other quantity is also possible.
In addition, the entry of matrix M and vector be stored in matrix buffer 74.
After that, executed in parallel gradient and projection module 76 in core 70.With optimized variable z ithe row of matrix buffer 74 of respective sets association load from matrix buffer 74 and be multiplied with all variablees from buffer 72 and be projected the optimized variable z of calculation optimization i, it is stored in buffer 78.
Calculating relevant variable z iafter, in each core 70, perform scaling module 80, it calculates the optimized variable y for the calibration of next iterative step i.In this step, from the optimized variable z of last step iload from buffer 82.
At the end of iteration, all core must wait for that thread stops that 86 make the execution of next iteration synchronous.
Buffer 72,84 can be embodied as read buffer 72 and write buffer 84, and it has two pointers, and it exchanges in thread stop place and avoids unnecessary copying.
Another embodiment is the realization for the more method based on gradient of the solution of general optimization problem.F (z) has gradient general differentiable target function, instead of secondary target function f (z).(fast) gradient method that non-convex differentiable target function adopts does not ensure converge to global minimum and ensure on the contrary to converge to local minimum.Although the streamlined of above-described computing unit 50 to 54 should be suitable for the structure of problem at the moment, the realization on FPGA is still possible.For simplicity, we suppose z ibe scalar, notice that it is simple for making the discussion presented expand to non-scalar piecemeal.
If f (z) is d multinomial, gradient by the n with maximum d-1 time zindividual multinomial composition.Illustratively property example, considers the multinomial target function had as Gradient :
Such as, Parallel Implementation is undertaken by compute gradient valuation line by line.
On FPGA or polycaryon processor, save space in order to speed-up computation, evaluation block can reuse multiplication result, such as, by the polynary Huo Na scheme of application.
In order to illustrate, consider the multinomial of the example previously presented .The simple realization of multinomial valuation is by needs 6 multipliers.On the contrary, by using simple Huo Na scheme, it can be rewritten as by we: , therefore cause 4 multiplication.In addition, item 2z 1only can calculate once, thus be reduced to sum 3 multiplication.Except the lower quantity operation needed, Huo Na scheme also allows to reuse identical multiplier and adder unit.
Consider the specific specificity of problem, the method can adjust further and make the intermediate object program of Huo Na scheme can be reused for multinomial valuation then.
Again consider example: the intermediate object program for the valuation of the first polynomial Huo Na scheme is .Be not also develop Huo Na scheme completely to the second multinomial, solution can by reusing , add and calculate simply and adopt single multiplier.
Such method can be adopted for general differentiable target function.
Although the present invention has illustrated in detail and described in accompanying drawing and aforementioned description, such diagram and describing will have been thought illustrative or exemplary instead of restrictive; The invention is not restricted to disclosed embodiment.To other versions of disclosed embodiment can by those skilled in that art from accompanying drawing, the study of claim that is open and that enclose to be come in the present invention of practice calls protection understand and implement.In the claims, word " comprises " does not get rid of other elements or step, and indefinite article " " does not get rid of majority.Single processor or controller or other unit can meet the function of the some projects enumerated in the claims.The only fact that some measure is recorded in mutually different dependent claims does not indicate the combination of these measures cannot be used to realize advantage.Any label in the claims should not be interpreted as limited field.
